   We felt the cheeseburger was dry and lack grilled onions and the Cobb salad was fishy. The french fries were delicious and followed our request for no salt.

   Another fabulous night at 230 Forest. I requested a table on the outside patio and they were happy to accommodate my request. The waiter and staff were on point. The pacing of drinks, appetizers and main course was perfectly timed. We enjoyed 2 items new to us: house made ricotta and fried chicken sandwich. Both were superb! We also enjoyed our old favorites: chipotle chicken sandwich and halibut. Also perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The food was served HOT, something that rarely happens these days. Our heater ran out of propane and the manager noticed it and immediately replaced it for us. They just have th best service. Love this place! Never disappoints

   This is our "go-to" restaurant in Laguna Beach. The food is consistently excellent. Today, we enjoyed the onion soup, the burger and bolognese. Our server today, Nina, was friendly, informative and efficient.

   Has become a tourist spot. Meals come fast and seem super pre prepared. A machine made to get you in and out quickly.

   Terrific meal in lovely surroundings. We had an outdoor table under a heater and shared several grazing plates. All were delicious, but the lamb and the ricotta dishes were special.

   Excellent gazpacho and salmon entree. The wedge and bolognese were fantastic. Cocktails were tasty and great wine selection! George was our server and he was so kind, attentive, professional, classy, and helpful.
